Doodles who don't bark?

[Bella & Emma]

Hi Everyone,

 

I've had my mini Australian labradoodle for about a month and she has yet to bark (she is almost a year old). Are there other doodles out there who rarely make noise? Emma used to whine by the door to go out but now just stands there quietly to be let out or taken for a walk. She's more on the calm side but loves playing with other pups and meeting new people. I just wonder if it is normal for her to be so quiet. Thanks for your advice!

Hi, Bella!  We noticed the same thing with Oliva.  She didn't bark for almost three years.  We were a bit concerned.  Olivia would huff under her breath.  It was the cutest thing in the world.  We loved the sound!  But, now, Olivia has learned how to bark from her older sister, Sydney.  Now we have stereo barking in the house: when the mailman comes, when the UPS or Fed Ex is in the neighborhood and when there are strangers on the street.  Would you like to borrow Sydney?????  We say "Enjoy the peace and quiet"!!!!!
